Five best eyeshadows
Backstage beauty: Smoky neutral shades and lots of blending made a sexy statement on the catwalk
Hot for fall: Chanel Ombre Essentielle Eyeshadow in Amethyst, $34.
We love these pretty little palettes, and they're versatile, too. The colour goes on sheer but is buildable, intensifying with each layer.
Nice price: L'Oréal Paris La Couleur Infallible Eye Shadow in Pebble Grey, $11.
Want a modern smoky eye? This semi-loose powder is highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.
Splurge-worthy: Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Silk Eyeshadow in Rock Sand, $42.
These silky, shimmery shadows have an almost wet quality that blends easily using your fingers, leaving lids looking iridescent.
Eco chic: Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Shadow & Liner in Nude Eyes, $16.
These mineral-based colours work for day or night and are a great option for sensitive eyes.
Cult favourite: Urban Decay Naked2 Palette, $60.
Boasting a wide range of neutral shades and finishes, this palette is a makeup-bag essential.
